'Bottling it' - Man City fans react as Aston Villa take the lead in crucial Premier League clash

Manchester City fans have been sharing their reactions after Aston Villa took the lead at the Etihad through Matty Cash.

City had been in control of the game and had the lion's share of the chances. News of Liverpool going behind at home to Wolves made it look as though City could be in for a comfortable afternoon.

However, Sadio Mane found an equaliser for the Reds and things were about to get a lot worse for City fans. Against the run of play, Villa took the lead as Lucas Digne's cross was brilliantly headed home by Cash.

City would finish the day on 90 points with a +71 goal difference while Liverpool would finish second, also on 90 points, but with only a +66 goal difference. Here is how the fans have reacted to the goal.
